Abstract: The visible pattern of classical matrix dithering in case of applications with moving pictures and static pictures shall be suppressed more effectively. Therefore, it is proposed to change a dithering pattern in the dithering block (12) nonperiodically. This can be effected by a random generator (13) which may be activated by a motion detector (14). The motion detector (14) enables to individually alternate the dithering function depending on moving or static pictures.

The distal end region is formed into a loop having defined therein at least one narrow iris pincher gap for detachably attaching the intraocular lens to the anterior surface of the iris. The first, and second fixation members are substantially identical to one another, and are attached to the optic on opposite sides of the optical axis. The optic is preferably constructed from an elastically deformable plastic material, such as silicone or an acrylic, so that the resulting three-piece intraocular lens can be folded or otherwise deformed for implanting into an eye through a small, preferably non-sutured, surgical incision. Variation IOLs are disclosed, such variations relating to iris pincher gaps. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method and apparatus for identifying a semantic structure from an input text forms at least two candidate semantic structures. A semantic score is determined for each candidate semantic structure based on the likelihood of the semantic structure. A syntactic score is also determined for each semantic structure based on the position of a word in the text and the position in the semantic structure of a semantic entity formed from the word. The syntactic score and the semantic score are combined to select a semantic structure for at least a portion of the text. In many embodiments, the semantic structure is built incrementally by building and scoring candidate structures for a portion of the text, pruning low scoring candidates, and adding additional semantic elements to the retained candidates.

Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for improved session management when roaming between access networks (AN) within a data cellular network, wherein an extended session is established across several ANs within a subnet. When an Access Terminal (AT) initiates a new extended session, the responsible AN negotiates a common session across the ANs covered by the extended session area. During the session negotiation, each AN establishes a new session and allocates a new Unicast Access Terminal Identifier (UATI). Each AN is notified of each UATI allocated for the extended session. Once the negotiation between ANs is completed, the AT can roam anywhere within the extended session area without re-negotiating the session or transferring session information. <IMAGE>
